10. An electric razor since he's always complaining about his current razor. Say sayonara to the old, and let's bring in the new. This bb gives a suuuuper close shave, is rechargeable, and has dual-sided blade so he can look like a professional trimmed him up.
Okay, so I got an Amazon Beauty Box, and this came in it. I didn't need it and decided to gift it to my boss (at my part-time job) for his birthday because he'd been complaining about his current razor...and he's super hairy. When I tell y'all this man has not stopped raving about this razor since his birthday in October, I mean it. AND IT'S MAY! Every time he shaves he comes up to all of us staff and excitedly shows off how great it works. He also texts me randomly raving about it and asking me if I've added it to one of my posts because it's just that good. He's, like, obsessed with it so much so that I had to let you guys know because he cannot stop talking about it. This bad boy comes with one OneBlade, one handle, three trimming combs, and one charger. "This thing is money" as my boss would say.
Promising review: "Look, I'm not one to truly love a product but, for my first use with this thing, Holy Cow. In the 'sensitive area,' I've always had horrible anxiety that I may nick something and lose them forever. However, with this shaver, it's like you HAVE to want to hurt yourself in order to hurt yourself. With the body guard, this thing glides over the rough patches like nothing, and doesn't pull or anything. No shaving cream was used and this thing still didn't cut me at all. I'm throughly impressed, and was pretty skeptical in the beginning, but once I got over being uneasy I was mind blown. Even with the guard, which you would think would leave a bit of stubble, it was like I used a normal razor. Easily one of the best $40 I have ever spent!" —Josh hargove
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with express shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Father's Day (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

11. And a beard trimmings catcher he'll totally love because that means no more hair all over the bathroom sink and counters! Yes, yes, the heavens are singing.
Promising review: "My girlfriend bought this for me as a present. At first, I was skeptical to use it, but once I got my hands on it, there was no going back. I use my Beard Bib anywhere from two to four times a week and cannot live without it. Not only does this serve a big purpose in my trimming routine, but now I no longer have to argue with my girlfriend about all the mess that I USED to create. Overall, it has been an awesome experience, and they’ve truly made me feel like a King!" —Timur
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with express shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Father's Day (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

12. A 100 Movies Scratch-Off Poster so he can do his fave activity — movie nights! He'll be able to scratch 'em off after he watches, and he'll love being able to always have a good movie suggestion. Anddd it'll be even more special if you and the fam join him!
This movie poster includes 100 of the top movies spanning decades like Star Wars, Kill Bill, Dirty Dancing, and 97 more awesome flicks.
Promising review: "Bought for my husband for Valentine’s Day, and he loves it! Perfect gift for a movie buff! Now we are watching our way through the list using a random number generator, and it solves the 'what should we watch' issue we always run into. Lol. The only thing I would suggest would be to use a paper towel and a little soap to rub it off, as using a coin puts indents in the poster." —Leena R.

It comes with step-by-step instructions so dad will be able to do this in a breeze.
Promising review: "Got this kit for my husband as a Christmas gift, and he's made a batch so far. He loved the idea of making his own beer and loved going through the fermenting process. The directions were easy to follow, but the process takes up to a month to complete. After the beer reached maturity, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the beer tastes and how smooth it was! This is a perfect gift for Father's day or a birthday. CHEERS! —Rita J
